ATM in the Union to be reconnected

The automated teller machine in the Student Union’s Scorpion Café is scheduled to be fixed on Nov. 6, according to Wells Fargo officials.

The ATM has not in been operation for about a month due to construction of the Recreation, Education and Kinesiology Center.

“The cable servicing these lines had to be rerouted; [the] Student Union’s ATM is supposed to be serviced from [the Life and Health Sciences] AT&T demarcation location,” said Fitratullah Khan, director of Infrastructure, Telecommunications and Networks. “The phone and data lines to the ATM are directly from AT&T, bypassing the institution’s phone system.”

In an Oct. 19 e-mail to the university, Odilia Lara, an administrative assistant for Wells Fargo, said the circuit that supplies the ATM’s communication was moved from the UTB/TSC Physical Plant to the REK Center.

“Many things have taken place to make this happen and at this point the final step must be completed by a Wells Fargo technician,” Lara stated in the e-mail. 

On Oct. 10, AT&T installed new circuits and a Wells Fargo technician must finish installing the integrated service digital network line for the ATM, according to the e-mail.
